0:not check, 1:do check about supersaturation after the interpolation for inner model
0
 




10th digit
If you check about supersaturation after the interpolation for inner model and when TH_QC checks, 0:use water saturation and ice saturation, 1:use only water saturation




SW_CHECKQV_OUTER

 
1th digit
0:not check, 1:do check outer model for supersaturation before the interpolation for inner model
1
 




10th digit
If you check outer model for supersaturation before the interpolation for inner model, 0:use water saturation and ice saturation, 1:use only water saturation




  MTUV_VERSION

  at present, default is 22000
   





SW_CHK_CONS

 
0
 consistency between the initial water vapor and cloud water
 contents is not checked.

1
 




1
 consistency between the initial water vapor and cloud water
 contents is checked.

 * supplement if not set about water model or guess model, then set the value of outer model as default.
** supplement * has three type at present. : *=O means outer model, *=C means water model and *=G means guess model. At least you should set value of outer model.
